2015 HONDA FIT Complaints

FUEL AND ODOMETER GAUGE FAILURE. IN COLD WEATHER AND OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY WITH VEHICLE AGE, THE GAUGE WILL GO BLANK FOR SOME TIME. AFTER SOME TIME, IT MAY BLINK ON/OFF WITH UNREADABLE CHARACTERS. 31,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE PHOTO ATTACHED IWAS TAKEN WITH THE VEHICLE RUNNING.

I BOUGHT HONDA FIT 2015 ON JAN 11, 2015. LAST YEAR I GOT THE PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE START/STOP BUTTON. THE ENGINE DID NOT START WHEN I PUSHED THE BUTTON MANY TIMES. ON JUNE 13, 2020, I BROUGHT MY CARD TO HONDA DEALER. THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE STARTER. I LEFT THE CAR AT DEALER AND COME BACK TO PICK UP THE SAME DAY. AT DEALER PARKING LOT, I STARTED MY CAR AND IT DID THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. I CAME BACK INSIDE THE OFFICE AND LET THE TECHNICIAN KNEW. SO, I LEFT MY CAR AGAIN AT DEALER FOR THEM TO FIX IT. AT THAT TIME, MY CAR WAS 29,221 MILES ONLY FOR 5 AND HALF YEARS. I NOT DRIVE MY CAR A LOT JUST ABOUT 12 MILES PER DAY. DEALER TOLD ME THEY HAD TO FIXED SOMETHING ELSE AND CHARGED ME FOR TOTAL $750. I THINK IT IS NOT FAIR FOR ME TO PAY DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. I FILE THE COMPLAIN WITH HONDA COMPANY ON JUNE 2020 AND DID NOT RECEIVE ANY REPLY BACK. FEB 20, 21, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA ABOUT WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR 2015-17 FIT KEYLESS START SYSTEM ERROR WITH DTC B12C5. HONDA WOULD REIMBURSE IF I FIXED THAT PROBLEM BEFORE. I FILED PAPERWORK WITH ALL RECEIPTS ON 02/23/21. TODAY, I GOT THE PHONE CALL FROM HONDA CLAIM DEPARTMENT 03/11/2021 THEY STATED I DID NOT QUALIFIED FOR REIMBURSE BECAUSE THE PART THEY REPLACED NOT QUALIFIED. I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY? BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS, ONE DAY I HAD TO STAY ON PARKING LOT FOR 30 MINUTES TRING TO START THE ENGINE. I WAS LATE FOR WORK AND LATE FOR MY APPOINTMENTS TWICE. THE REIMBURSE CLAIM NUMBER: 11377164. THE CLAIM DEPARTMENT TOLD ME MY CASE WAS CLOSED BECAUSE I AM NOT QUALIFIED FOR THIS SITUATION. I AM NOT A TECHNICIAN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT DID THEY DO WITH THE CAR. THE ONLY THING I KNOW IS WITH 29,221 MILES HONDA ENGINE START/STOP BUTTON NOT WORKING. THIS IS THE 2ND HONDA CAR I HAVE. FOR THIS EXPERIENCE I WILL NOT BUY ANY CAR FROM HONDA ANYMORE.

ELECTRONIC CLUSTER FAILURE AFFECTING FUEL GAUGE AND ENGINE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY. THIS CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF THE VEHICLE RUNS OUT OF FUEL OR ENGINE OVERHEATS. AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS, IT'S A MAJOR ISSUE AFFECTING THOUSANDS OF HONDA FIT OWNERS AND A RECALL SHOULD BE PUT IN PLACE FOR THIS.

MY CAR IS A 2015... LESS THAN 46,000 MILES AND CAR WILLL NOT TURN ON. AFTER READING SEVERAL THREADS, IT APPEARS THAT HONDA 2015 HAS FAULTY STATERS. ALSO, THE DISPLAY SHOWING PROPER GAS LEVELS GO IN AND OUT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED. PLEASE FORCE A RECALL.

VEHICLE INTSTRUMENT LCD WHERE IT DISPLAYS FUEL GAUGE, ODOMETER TRIP METER IS GOING OUT INTERMENTTLY. VEHICLE IS TOO RISKY TO DRIVE IF YOU DONT IF YOU DONT HOW MUCH FUEL YOU HAVE LEFT.

THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY OF MY MILEAGE AND FUEL LEVELS IS OFTEN BLANK WHEN I INITIALLY START MY CAR, OR THE DISPLAY IS GIBBERISH (E.G. NUMBERS AND LETTERS WHERE THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY). THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY (3-4X/WEEK) AND TENDS TO BE WORSE WHEN IT'S COLDER OUTSIDE.

FUEL/ODOMETOR GUAGE DISPLAY IS BLANK / FLICKERING WHEN IN USE. SOMETIMES IT IS BLANK THE ENTIRE TIME.

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BEGAN SHOWING NOTHING OR GIBBERISH. NO ODOMETER, NO CLOCK, NO FUEL GAUGE, NO TIME DISPLAY, NO TEMP DISPLAY. ONCE THE CAR WARMS UP, IT USUALLY RETURNS TO NORMAL.
